Alpina, a German company known for its modified BMW models, has been successful in certain markets by offering exclusive alternatives to BMW’s performance cars with a discreet appearance. However, the company is likely to change its strategy in the near future. According to a recent article by BMW Blog, Alpina will become part of the BMW Group, with the Munich automaker taking control on January 1, 2026. While specific details about Alpina’s role within BMW are yet to be revealed, it is highly possible that the B7 will be reintroduced as the company’s flagship sedan.
